Yellow leaves on my satin pothos

My satin pothos has some leaves that are turning yellow and one that turned yellow and fell off. I noticed it was turning yellow and the soil was dry so I bottom watered it and it took in a lot of water. I also moved it from a space that got no sunlight to try and remedy the yellow leaves, however they are still turning yellow. I don’t know what else to do so please help! #SatinPothos #help #helpneeded #helpneeded #PothosPack

Check the roots. Sometimes yellow means overwatering. If so the roots might be mushy. Remove mushy rotten roots and use fresh soil to repot. Adjust watering such that 40-50% of the soil top-bottom is dry before watering, using your finger to measure

@Araceae I recently repotted it and it is in fresh soil. I don’t think it’s from overwatering since it was still turning yellow when the soil was very dry and I bottom watered it to try not to overwater it. It did take in a lot of water but I figured it was because I hadn’t water it in multiple weeks.

Then maybe it's just an old leaf

Is it possible the soil you repotted it in doesn’t have enough drainage for it? The roots must feel they aren’t getting oxygen I’d think.
